NYPD Cops going at it after one assaults a handcuffed man **Video**

Always be respectful of officers, even if they are in the wrong. Say as little as possible, besides providing basic required information/answers to
the officer's questions. If you are being arrested remain completely silent and comply completely with an officer's directions while under arrest.
CALL A LAWYER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

It was nice to see a police officer stand up for what was right, but that dude was dramatic as hell. Also I didn't see any "beating" I can assume
that it happened before the video started, but It would be nice to see the proof.

Your'e kidding right? I saw an officer try to help this nutcase-crybaby off the floor. Yes he was cuffed, but he wasn't struck.

I believe his partner was trying to tell him to wait for a second car to place said loser into an ambulance. Provided the suspect was searched he
should have been left where he was until a supporting units arrival.

The behavior of the arrestee was clearly erratic. Making a trip psyche hospital before his trip to central booking a necessity.

It appears that the young officer was unnerved by the bellowing of this childish oaf. Which is probably why he hurried to get this guy into his
cruiser.

"Relax and calm down" = We'll have help in a minute, let him scream like a baby, we'll wait for the ambulance right here, why rush?

Every day human beings make mistakes based on emotions. I believe as do most of you that public servants must be held to a higher standard.

Was this person struck while cuffed before the film started to roll? Well, I don't know, and neither do any of you! We were not there!

God bless these guys, the city is full of people like you who are eager to point an unjust finger without knowing what happened, apparently many
posters to this board are like-minded as well.

After 911, you couldn't drive down the west side highway (this video appears to be somewhere close to the west-side highway downtown) without
Americans lining the road to cheer for these very same police officers (as well as firefighters and other rescue workers as they entered and exited
ground zero, and this went on for weeks/months).

I remember their effort, and because they put their life on the line for me each day, I will give them the benefit of the doubt this time, and not
some fat idiot!

Good job to the camera man and the police officer who actually was man enough to stop the offender (fellow cop). This is rare and shows that there is
hope, that if a revolution occurs, officer such as that will be there to protect the people against the government.

Well what happened before that made the guy get arrested? You can obviously see one cop getting very frustrated because the guy was resisting. It
looked to me as the other cop was trying to difuse the situation before it got out of hand. There are instances where I'm sure the person being
arrested did not do anything wrong but was in the wrong place at the wrong time. But in 90% of the cases they have committed a crime. I'm tired of
people claiming to be innocent victims when all we get is one side of the story.

Yeah but that dude was being pretty dramatic. Sit on the ground right now with your hands behind your back as if you were handcuffed and see if you
can stand up without using your hands. It's pretty easy, so he was clearly acting like a stubborn little kid in big boy pants. Still, instead of
shoving him around like that he should have just been like "Dude you're acting like a child, just stand up and quit crying you baby"

I'm glad he didn't try to take away the camera or threaten to break the guys "f***** face" for videotaping him like in that video posted here a
few weeks ago.

I think you guys are all mistaken on this one the good cop the moment he notices the camera you can hear him say "Put that away, Put that away" as
he motions and waves at the man with the camera then the video ends. So yea he helped a guy out who was being assaulted followed up by himself
assaulting the first ammendment.

Isn't a SHAME when you feel like a cop should be given an award for just doing the right thing?

If he hadn't been there, and it was just another bullheaded cop with the neanderthal that was being a typical cop, that guy might have ended up
dead.... another 'resisting arrest' statistic.

Watch much TV do you?

Do you have much interaction with law enforcement?

Ahh gotta love the perception of some folks.

I refer to the use of "another statistic" in your post.

How many people die from resisting arrest in America? I mean when I read the words "another statistic" I would think the number involved would be
substantial. But, I don't think it is. The numbers are quite low I would think (prove me wrong).

Of those killed while resisting, what were the circumstances?

Finally, compare that final number, a number YOU are comfortable with, against the number of officers who die in the line of duty annually. And,
think on your own results the next time you use the phrase "typical cop".

These guys have a difficult job, they don't play in front of a keyboard while getting paid, like most of us do.

On a side note:

I was hoping that the aggressive officer would club that winning idiot like a baby seal, if only to aid him in his restoration of dignity.

We always hear from people... " Why did the Jews go willingly to their deaths?"

Dramatic much?

Don't compare a guy being arrested screaming like a maniac vs a Jew being led to a death camp.

It's irresponsible and it is not the same thing.

You're a little late to tell me not to, because I already did, and I didn't break any T&C's
doing it.

Jr Mod much?

I guess you don't get it anyway, I wasn't comparing, I was contrasting.
That man wasn't being a sheep, he was protesting being tortured by an officer of the law, trying to attract the attention of passersby.

He did tell him to stop filming, I saw that too.

But didn't the cameraman say habla espanol several times?

Communicating with person in custody in a foreign language is a no-no.

Are they planning escape? Are they getting their story straight? What were the circumstances of the arrest, it's an important part of information
that's missing.

Turn off the camera, no. Film on the corner, and stop trying to talk to the crybaby, yes.

A statistic even if low by your standards, is just that, a statistic. If you want to jump to conclusions about what I meant, that isn't my
problem.

People die in police custody, I don't think you can deny that. Some of them that die end up as another statistic, suicide. Are you naive enough to
believe that every man found hanging in his cell didn't have a little help?

Comprende?

edit on 6-7-2011 by CodexSinaiticus because: (no reason given)

I agree with you there the man video taping had begun communicating with the suspect in custody which is very close if not already interfering or
obstructing. But that officer i think had no idea about the camera until the point he told him to turn it off. He never should of told him to turn
it off and im sure if that gentlemen didnt comply he would of had issues to.. But i think he was already in violation of the law by communicating
with the suspect during a crime scene.

I believe your perception is based upon CSI, or some other police television program. And, if you believe that entertainment in anyway resembles real
life, then you are the one who is naive my friend.

Did you know when a prisoner dies in custody, all involved are brought before a grand jury for indictment? It is procedure throughout the country.
This is done so that what you have illustrated, could not and would not happen without the Officer losing their job, their freedom and possibly their
life.

Furthermore, unlike civilians Police Officers once cleared by a jury of their peers may face civil rights charges.
This is double jeopardy, something you or I can never experience because we are civilians.

Well at least they didn't beat the guy, more of a cop getting really pissed becuase the guy seemed to be resisting. Sad we could not see what led up
to this, nor what happend after the "Good Cop" shooed the camerman away. You never know what is truly going on in the world of edited you tube
snipets.

I have several loe friends and when this stuff happens they get tweaked because they are now all suspect. It is even worse when we as good citizens
don't have the right to properly defend ourselves, while the social state continues to push an agenda of we will take care of you little lemming.

I believe your perception is based upon CSI, or some other police television program.

Your belief is not correct. I have extensive ties with law enforcement at levels from municipal to federal.

I also have connections with county, state and federal correctional facilities, I've worked inside them.

Not all of us regular citizens are products of the 'boob tube', and I am confident in saying that I could show you a thing or two about 'real life'.
Some of us have been there and done that. And for me that is more of a complaint than a brag, as it mostly wasn't any fun.
